Are you ever going to tell us why wire is directional?
Is it because electrons can be polarized?

Trying to find someone with a cable cooker in Metro NY
Hello to all...
Have recently been 'exposed' to the concept of cable cooking to improve performance, but would like to pay someone who has one, to do it to my interconnects and speaker cables, each for a 3 day (72 hr) treatment... Would be nice if you are in the Metro NY area, but would be willing to ship to you if out of area.
Would also like to hear from someone with comparative experience (geoffkait?) in using this and/or cryogenic treatment: if results are different, one more effective than the other, one more lasting than the other, must treatment be redone periodically?
Please relate real-life info ( don't be a second level whistleblower, passing relayed to you experiences...).
Best Wishes to all.

Uh, you mean one of these..... https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/3813#&gid=1&pid=27 (to see the rare contraption, go to picture 27 if it doesn't open automatically when opening the link) |
What are you expecting to change or improve through the
"freezer" treatment? Cold and cryogenic treatment has been shown to improve the conductivity of copper but even "cold" treatment is typically considered less than -150 degrees F, and cryo treatment at least -310 degrees F or lower. I cannot find any support (outside of audiophile forums) that any length of time in a residential freezer would change the crystal structure, electrical conductivity, or any other metallurgical property of copper whatsoever. |
As a side topic, I would love to hear a well set-up Klipsch LaScala or Klipschorn (or maybe better yet a restored/upgraded Altec VOTT or similar) played through a nice medium-powered tube amplifier. I believe I may have taken the wrong path 20 years ago by not starting out with a pair of high efficiency Klipsch speakers. The whole amplifier thing would have been so much easier by not needing high power and I suspect the dynamics and life-like realism of live music would have been easier to approximate in my home. I am currently having a pair of SOTA 600 wpc +/- amps built for me so I am too far down the road to switch to horns now, but if I were starting over..... |
If a Cable Cooker costs more than you want to spend, maybe look at this; https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9hj8c-hagerman-frykleaner-tweaks |
